Wu Xuefeng, Han nationality, from Taicang City, Jiangsu Province, 1976. 20 1 1 May, 2008, he was employed as a "Hundred Talents Program Researcher" of Purple Mountain Observatory, engaged in time domain astronomy work of China Antarctic Astronomical Center, and currently mainly studied high-energy astrophysical phenomena such as gamma bursts. In 2000, he graduated from the intensive science class of Nanjing University, and in 2005, he received his doctorate in astrophysics from the Department of Astronomy of Nanjing University. After graduating from Ph.D. in 2005, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Purple Mountain Observatory of China Academy of Sciences. From February 2006 to June 2008, he was a visiting scholar at California Institute of Technology and a postdoctoral researcher at Pennsylvania State University from February 2008 to March 2008. From April 20 10 to March 201/kloc-0, I worked as a postdoctoral research assistant at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He has presided over or participated in the Youth Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation, the Special Fund for Starting Excellent Doctoral Dissertations of China Academy of Sciences, the First Prize of China Postdoctoral Science Fund, the Postdoctoral Work Award Fund of China Academy of Sciences, the Postdoctoral Research Fund of Jiangsu Province, the 973 Project of the Ministry of Science and Technology "Research on Dense Astrophysics such as Black Holes" and the National Natural Science Foundation's Innovative Research Group Science Fund "Formation and Origin of Stars in the Universe". Domestic research projects such as the National Natural Science Foundation's key project "The formation of cosmic stars and the correlation between starbursts and active galactic nuclei", and large-scale international cooperative research projects such as the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Swift and Fermi satellites, including the Fermi Research Fund's "Theoretical model of gamma-ray bursts based on Fermilat-GBM observations".
Wu Xuefeng's main research field is high energy astrophysics, especially gamma bursts, soft gamma bursts, compact stars, active galactic nuclei and supernovae. He also participated in the research of time domain astronomy and cosmology. Since 2003, more than 70 SCI papers have been published, with a total of more than 2,900 citations.
Research direction: time domain astronomy.
